Reading is fundamental...

Ever since I was little, I have LOVED to read. So many times, my parents would wonder where I was and I'd be holed up in my room reading. I started out with Shel Silverstein's books and Dr Seuss. As I got older, I loved books like "Roll of Thunder, hear my Cry" and was a maniac about the Babysitters Club series and almost anything by Judy Blume.

Here lately, I have barely had time to talk to my friends and family(but I always manage to blog..hmm) so I almost NEVER get to read for pleasure. I love my major but I get sick of reading about the Criminal Justice system and sociology( *insert gasp here*)

I just asked a few friends of mine if they'd be interested in starting a book club. The majority of us are mothers and we all are working and/or in school as well. I know that time is of the essence, but we all can use some "down time".

In looking at Oprah's site(dude, she is like the go to person for dam near EVERYTHING in life! LOL) she has outlined the 'how to' of starting a book club.
While reading, I noticed something and had an EUREKA moment of sorts.

Why not do a virtual bookclub?? I know that some of you (those w/ blogger and blogspot) are already a part of a bookclub but I mean a bookclub for "US". A bookclub that all of us(I and my readers) can partake in. I have a real diverse group of virtual friends and thought it would be fun.

So what do you guys think? Also, if your in a bookclub or have been in a bookclub before, what are some tips or suggestions?
